The 5th Annual Heart and Hope Statewide Family Conference


The 5th Annual Heart and Hope Statewide Family Conference was a big success. Thank you to all of the families who participated and accessed the free information, resources, and training. We are always here to serve you. Contact us anytime at 800-825-5736 or email fnd@fndusa.org.

 

We also want to thank the many organizations who worked hard to provide the conference to families. It could not have been done without the support of the Harper Family Charitable Foundation, Publix Supermarkets, Orange County Public Schools, Roberts Printing, and Workshops-in-a-Box.

Dr. Angela Martin Walker does a great job helping kids enjoy reading.

Is Every Week too Often?


We are considering changing News from the Heart from a weekly publication to a monthly publication. Is that a good idea or would you prefer to receive it each week? Please click here to let us know what you think.
